Log in to the web page
The module gateway's RJ45 port uses a dual-IP design; the module is factory-set with two IP addresses by default.
First, for 192.168.1.253, the default username is admin and the password is admin. If the IP of the RJ45 port is forgotten, the module's web page can be accessed via 192.168.1.253:2250;
Second, for the IP set via DIP switches or the web page, ":2250" must be appended when logging in, e.g., 192.168.250.3:2250.
Set the computer's local IP address: the coupler's default web access IP is 192.168.1.253; when the coupler is first used, the local connection's IP must be in the same network segment as the coupler's IP for normal direct communication, so the computer's local connection IP address must be changed;
After setting the computer's local IP, connect the coupler to the computer with a network cable, open a browser (IE or 360 Browser), enter 192.168.1.253:2250 in the address bar, and press Enter to access the web parameter settings page, as shown in the figure below:
Parameter description
Coupler settings
① IP address: set for communication between the TCP coupler and the connected controller; it must be in the same network segment as the controller's IP address.
② Gateway address: set the gateway of the TCP coupler.
③ Subnet mask: set the mask of the TCP coupler.
④ MAC address: set the MAC address of the TCP coupler; when multiple devices exist in the same network, MAC addresses must not be identical, otherwise communication will be abnormal.
⑤ Communication timeout: set whether the output channels behind the TCP coupler are cleared to zero or held after communication between the TCP coupler and the controller is disconnected. There are 5 setting items in total: 200 ms, 500 ms, 1 s, 3 s, and output hold. If 200 ms, 500 ms, 1 s, or 3 s is set, the TCP coupler's output channels are cleared to zero after communication is disconnected for longer than the set time; if "output hold" is set, the TCP coupler's output channels hold their outputs after communication is disconnected.
Note: The web communication timeout must be longer than the communication delay; otherwise, communication may become abnormal
IO-Link settings
The module's IO-Link configuration is performed via the web page, as shown in the figure below:
① Configuration name: export and save the IO-Link parameter settings; if the same parameter configuration is needed next time, it can be imported directly for use without configuring again.
② Import settings: to reuse a previous IO-Link configuration, import the previously exported configuration file; after a successful import, no further configuration is needed—simply click Set Parameters to complete the configuration.
③ I/Q Output: I/Q output function setting
- Disable: disable the I/Q output function
- Enable: enable the I/Q output function
④ Diagnosis: diagnostic information function setting
- Disable: disable the diagnostic information function
- Enable: enable the diagnostic information function
⑤ Port: select the corresponding port for function configuration.
⑥ I/Q Config: in IO-Link mode, set the master port type.
- Class A: port set to Class A type
- Class B: port set to Class B type
- I/Q Output PNP: set the port's I/Q PIN 2 as an output (displayed only after I/Q Output is set to Enable)
⑦ Type: configure the IO-Link, PNP/NPN output, and PNP input functions
- AUTO: select our company's IO-Link slaves for configuration according to the product model.
- General: general configuration method; select a suitable IO-Link byte count for configuration.
- SIO: standard IO mode setting; used to configure PNP/NPN output and PNP input functions.
⑧ Device: in IO-Link mode, select the specific slave model to configure; if the slave module supports connecting extension modules, select the multi-level slave module model at the corresponding X0x ExtMod position; in standard IO mode, select the specific function to configure (Input is set to PNP input, C/Q Output PNP to PNP output, and C/Q Output NPN to NPN output).
Note: None means there is no specific IO-Link configuration or specific SIO function configuration.
⑨ Activate: after the configuration or function configuration is complete, select activate; otherwise, the settings do not take effect.
⑩ Select: after the configuration or function configuration is complete, click to select the Activate of each configured port at once for activation.
⑪ Set parameters: after all functions are configured, click Set Parameters; after a successful configuration, the address distribution information of each coupler after configuration is read automatically. If "Set Parameters" is not used, the parameters will be lost when the coupler is powered off or the web page is refreshed.
⑫ Reset parameters: reset all setting parameters; if Reset parameters is not clicked, the coupler will retain the previous configuration after power cycling.
⑬ Read parameters: read the parameter information already set on the coupler.
⑭ Total: Total number of bytes used by this configuration.
Local: number of local SIO bytes.
ISDU: number of ISDU configuration bytes.
EVENT: event address information.
DIAG: diagnostic information address.
⑮ Input Byte: Number of input bytes used.
Output Byte: Number of output bytes used.
Input Offset: Input address offset.
Output Offset: output address offset.
Modify user information
① New username: set a new username for logging in to the web page for serial port parameter configuration; letters, digits, and underscores are supported, and letters are case-sensitive; the factory username is admin.
② Old password: the password previously used to log in to the web page for parameter configuration; the factory password is admin.
③ New password: set a new password for logging in to the web page for parameter configuration; letters, digits, and underscores are supported, and letters are case-sensitive.
④ Confirm new password: Enter the "new password" once again in this field.
⑤ Submit: apply the modified user information to the TCP coupler so that the parameters take effect.
Note: If the web page is left idle for a long time, a login timeout message appears; to configure again, you must log in to the web page again, as shown in the figure below:
